Looking good so far! Serious incision pain only lasted a day or so. (I heal unusually fast. Chas and Jen have started teasing me about having a superpower good enough for Mystery Men.)

Hey, is your email still your-old-LJ-username@gmail? (Or, alternatively - check your Facebook messages?)

Also I just replied!

ahahaha "in Subi" IN THEORY I could probably walk IN PRACTICE I will almost certainly be getting a lift from Ollie because IN REALITY I can currently walk about twenty metres, tops, before I start to get tired. (It will be further by then, but *still*.)

I remember what that was like. Leg injuries suck!

Yay! I was going to email you to ask how it went, but then I checked here first and sure enough, an update!

We should catch up again soon :)

We should!

I can even offer you the option of ~babysitting~, although I think not for such long periods as the All Day Monday for quite some time, but I could handle an hour or two of baby-supervising.

Even if I'm not up to running around *with* J-man, if he has a fall or something I'm now definitely capable of getting up and getting *to* him with alacrity.

The only caveat is this: I would, at this time, be unwilling to carry the Little Dude down the steps unless it's an emergency. Up would be fine, down is not, because I can't look down and *see* the steps very well while carrying a baby, and I'm still a bit nervous about going down stairs.

I did eventually. :) And only slightly restlessly (by my standards). And the local anaesthetic lasted well enough overnight that pain didn't keep me awake.

INORITE

It's such an amazing relief. But I was particularly glad, in the end, that it was local anaesthetic instead of general not least because when I later had that stiff, weird, achey feeling you get when your joint needs to go *click*, and then I was rotating my ankle a little and it *did*, it made the LOUDEST CLICK IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE, and I suspect that could have really, really hurt.

So glad to hear that! Hope the sleep has gotten better.
